Nigeria women's national cricket team

The Nigeria women's national cricket team represents the country of Nigeria in international women's cricket. The team is organised by the Nigeria Cricket Federation, which has been a member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 2002.

History
Nigeria Women made their international debut at the 2011 ICC Africa Women's T20 Tournament in Uganda. The team lost their first game, against Kenya, by ten wickets, but rebounded to win their next match, against Sierra Leone, by six wickets. They lost their remaining three matches (against Namibia, Tanzania, and Uganda), finishing fifth out of six teams overall. In August 2015 Nigeria appeared in an invitation tournament in Dar es Salaam, which featured the Tanzanian national team and a team from India's Mumbai Cricket Association.

In April 2018, the ICC granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Nigeria women and another international side since 1 July 2018 have the WT20I status. Nigeria made its Twenty20 International debut against Rwanda at Abuja on 26 January 2019. The teams played a five-game series which Nigeria won 3-2.

In December 2020, the ICC announced the qualification pathway for the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup. Nigeria were named in the 2021 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier regional group, alongside ten other teams.
